Psymple

psymple is a Python package designed for general complex systems modelling. A complex system is a dynamic system whose interconnectivity produces non-trivial or unexpected behaviour. Examples of complex systems exist everywhere, from ecological systems, chemical reactions, economic systems, astronomy and even social networks.

Installation

psymple officially supports Python 3.10 and higher.

The latest version of psymple is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip.

pip install psymple

Documentation

The latest version of psymple documentation can be found here.
